Absolutely Anything is more than its unique place in history, and serves to remind us that no one made movies for goofy adults quite like Jones did.

Pegg works wonders, but you’ll wish the concept had been pushed further, that there was more to the Pythons’ ‘reunion’ – and that Robin Williams had found a funnier swansong.

Empire

Sadly, proof that they will make absolutely anything these days.

It’s not bad so much as lightly feeble – and Pegg acquits himself respectably in a lead role that, for a change, chimes well to his best comic persona: the beta male under alpha pressure.

Time Out London by Tom Huddleston

In the plus column there’s a small handful of decent gags, a clutch of welcome cameos (Eddie Izzard, notably) and at 85 minutes it doesn’t outstay its welcome. There’s also a fairly solid moral about free will and personal desire. But nothing else here really clicks.

Absolutely Anything is a flabby misfire full of labored slapstick, broad caricatures and groaningly absurd plot twists.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

A huge amount of talent here, including Joanna Lumley and Eddie Izzard. Sadly it goes nowhere.
